A Place of Rage Q&A with Pratibha Parmar And A Place of Rage Q&A with Pratibha Parmar and Lola Olufemi, Friday 14 August 2020, 7-8pm Part of Club des Femmes x Between Us We Have Everything We Need weekender, 14-16 August 2020 Selina Robertson Welcome, my name is Selina, and I’m from Club des Femmes. We are a queer feminist film collective, and together with So, Jenny and Maria, we welcome you to this live q&a with filmmaker Pratibha Parmar and writer Lola Olufemi, which is part of Between Us We Have Everything We Need, a weekend of films, discussion, and new writing and art making centred around Pratibha’s film A Place of Rage from ​ ​ 1991. The film is an urgent, a still urgent history of African American women who drove the civil rights, Black Power, and LGBTQ and feminist movements in the US. The film is available now to rent on VOD at a discounted price of £8, until the newly extended date of Sunday the 23rd August and thank you to Pratibha for that. Closed Caption subtitles are also available for the first time, and thank you to Emilia from Collective Texts for your brilliant work, and I think she’s here this evening as well. We’ve got a limited number of codes for free rentals of the film for this period for those who self ID as low or no, no wage, so please get in touch with us on the chat in a private message, if you want to watch the film. And thank you to everyone who’s donated a free view as part of our pay it forward scheme. The idea for this weekend was sparked by our friend Anna, she said that she wished that more people had the chance to watch A Place of Rage right now. This right now ​ ​ is a moment for meaningful action, and what we as a feminist collective do and produce counts as film programmers. It’s a historical moment and a conjuncture that Angela Davis recently said in an interview “holds possibilities for change that we have never had never experienced before.” And in the same interview Professor Davis draws attention to an historical continuum between the 1960s civil rights movements and now. And these were also some of the ideas we explored in relation 1 A Place of Rage Q&A with Pratibha Parmar and Lola Olufemi, Friday 14 August 2020, 7-8pm Part of Club des Femmes x Between Us We Have Everything We Need weekender, 14-16 August 2020 to feminism when we programmed A Place of Rage, as part of our UK-wide film tour ​ ​ “Revolt She Said: Women in Film After ‘68,” in partnership with the Independent Cinema Office in the summer of 2018. So thank you, Anna for the idea, and thank you, Pratibha for your film and incredible activism, and a huge heartfelt thanks for the artists: to the artists, filmmakers, practitioners, and writers – our collaborators who we’ve had the pleasure to work with in realising this special weekend. I’d also like to thank our funders Film Feels Connected, and to the ICO and LUX for their in-kind sponsorship. And as this is a BFI funded project, we’d like to draw attention to the online survey which would be amazing if you could take a moment to fill in after this session, or after any of the weekend’s events. The survey and the weekend full programme will put [in the chat] as links, and it’s also on our website. And also we want to draw attention to Irenosen Okojie’s amazing new piece of writing on A Place of Rage, which is on our website as well. A second livestream ​ ​ event is on tomorrow between 4 and 5 pm, where our short filmmakers Rhea Storr and Onyeka Igwe from B.O.S.S. Collective and Ufuoma Essi will be in a roundtable discussion. You can sign up by event right until three o’clock, and all the details are on our website and in the chat, and three of our short films are free to stream on Vimeo until Sunday, midday. And do check out Grace Barber-Plentie and Javie Huxley’s affecting responses to the shorts on our website. This evening is free, but we would suggest donating to all sharing the crowdfunder for Sistah Space, a Hackney-based charity dedicated to supporting African and Caribbean heritage women and girls affected by domestic and sexual abuse. 2 A Place of Rage Q&A with Pratibha Parmar and Lola Olufemi, Friday 14 August 2020, 7-8pm Part of Club des Femmes x Between Us We Have Everything We Need weekender, 14-16 August 2020 A few housekeeping things: I’m sure most of you know this but it’s good to say it again please keep your mics and cameras off, and we’re recording the session so please do change your screen name if you’d like to. Please be kind and respectful in the chat. And we suggest that you put your questions for Pratibha in the chat and we’ll share them with her at the end of the discussion. Now I’d like to hand over to Lola, who will host the discussion with Pratibha. Lola Olufemi is a Black feminist writer, organiser, and Stuart Hall Foundation scholar from London. Her work focuses on the uses of the feminist imagination and its relationship to political demands to futurity. She is the author of Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power from 2020, and ​ ​ a member of Bare Minimum and interdisciplinary anti-work arts collective, over to you, Lola. Lola Olufemi Hello everyone, and thank you so much for being here. So how this is gonna work is that me and Pratibha are gonna have a conversation for about forty minutes, and then there’ll be time for questions afterwards. I want to thank Club des Femmes for asking us to do this. I’m going to introduce Pratibha and then we’ll get right to it. So Pratibha Parmar is an award winning filmmaker recognised as a pioneering unique artist who brings a passionate commitment to making films with integrity and illuminating untold stories. She has directed award winning documentary films for the BBC, Channel 4, PBS and European broadcasters. Her credits include Alice Walker: ​ Beauty and Truth, a feature-length documentary on the life of Pulitzer Prize-winning ​ author of The Color Purple, and the groundbreaking film Khush, one of the first films ​ ​ ​ ​ to give visibility to and highlight the experiences of LGBT+ people in India. She made 3 A Place of Rage Q&A with Pratibha Parmar and Lola Olufemi, Friday 14 August 2020, 7-8pm Part of Club des Femmes x Between Us We Have Everything We Need weekender, 14-16 August 2020 her debut as a narrative director with her award winning film Nina’s Heavenly ​ Delights. A globally recognised filmmaker and human rights activists Pratibha’s ​ accomplishments have been recognised with multiple awards. In 2017, she was awarded the Icon Award, presented by Bagri London Indian Film Festival in association with the British Film Institute for Outstanding Contribution to Indian and world cinema; in 2016 she was included in the BBC’s list of 100 inspirational and influential women. She is the proud recipient of the Frameline Film Festival Award, presented to an individual who has made a significant and outstanding contribution to lesbian and gay cinema. So I watched A Place of Rage, and I hadn’t watched it, actually, before. I watched it ​ ​ last week and then I watched it again before this conversation. And I guess I wanted to start Pratibha by asking you what the impetus for this film was. I’m always really interested in origin stories. And so I want to ask you what the, a little bit about the creative process for this project, and how that creative process kind of overlapped with your own journey to political consciousness, or steps taken towards thinking critically about the world. So we could start there. Pratibha Parmar Well, okay, well thank you Club des Femmes for having this event, and thank you Lola for being the moderator and asking, sending me such interesting questions to think about in the last day or so. So how did, yeah, origin stories. I think origin stories are really important and I think that for me as a filmmaker, it’s, you know my films, or most of my films are not ideas that come up from somewhere else but they come up, emanate from within me – and 4 A Place of Rage Q&A with Pratibha Parmar and Lola Olufemi, Friday 14 August 2020, 7-8pm Part of Club des Femmes x Between Us We Have Everything We Need weekender, 14-16 August 2020 the whole of me and my political self and my emotional self. And I would say the origin story for this film really was back when I was 15. And when I first read Angela Davis’s book If They Come In The Morning: Voices Of Resistance, and it’s a book ​ ​ she’d edited. It’s a collection of writings, James Baldwin and Erica Huggins, and Huey P. Newton. But Angela had also written in the book about her own trial and what had happened, and her own activism at that time. And I had only been living in England at the time for about three years because my parents were immigrants from Kenya. And so when we got there I was 12, and so when I read this book, Angela’s book, it was just this like explosion for me.

The guide is divided into mathematics and science sections, which each are subdivided into groupings: kindergarten through grade 2, grades 3 and 4, and grades 5 and 6. Many of the lessons can be adjusted for other grade levels. Each lesson has the following nine components:(1) concept statement; (2) instructional objectives;(3) male and female African American role models;(4) affective factors;(5) materials;(6) vocabulary; (7) teaching procedures;(8) follow-up activities; and (9) resources. The lesson plans are designed to supplement teacher-designed and textbook lessons, encourage teachers to integrate black history in their classrooms, assist students in developing an appreciation for the cultural heritage of others, elevate black students' self-esteem by presenting positive role models, and address affective factors that contribute to the achievement of blacks and other minority students in mathematics and science.

  • Mid-Life Shelf-Life, by R.M. Vaughan
    Lisa Steele Creative Director, Vtape 2 I am always looking for people who will immerse themselves in the rich, thick humus of the various pasts that inhabit the shelves at Vtape. In 2009, writer and artist RM Vaughan had an idea for a possible programme at Vtape. it would involve a lot of research, a lot of viewing. That summer he began a curatorial residency at Vtape, looking at work in our holdings. He viewed hundreds of titles – sometimes to the end but not always… He was searching for a programme – or rather, he was on a search for the shape of a programme, what it would look like. Thus began Mid-Life/Shelf Life, RM Vaughan’s rigourously structured (all in pairs, each programme proceeding two-by-two), yet deeply personal survey of video art seen through the lens of a patient searcher. In many ways, Richard Vaughan is an ideal writer/curator to undertake such a survey: he works actively to counter received knowledge, rejecting notions of “the canon” and other – externally imposed - pyramidal structures that dictate how “art” is to be absorbed and categorized. Thanks to the artists who made these works and to their curator. Richard Vaughan has presented us with a delightful flow through video art, part history (he did go back and back…) and part pure pleasure (it’s the humour especially here…), Mid-Life/Shelf Life opens new eyes on some real gems, illuminating them anew through the lens of the present. 3 BRENDA GOLDSTEIN 2007 title Horoscope language English running time 5:09 The future of film..

  • White Is and White Ain't
    WHITE IS AND WHITE AIN’T: REPRESENTATIONS AND ANALYSES OF WHITENESS IN THE NOVELS OF CHESTER HIMES Scott M. Walter A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2005 Committee: Dr. Ellen Berry Advisor Dr. Michael T. Martin Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Donald McQuarie Dr. Donald Callen © Scott M. Walter All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Ellen Berry, Advisor This dissertation borrows and paraphrases for its title from the marijuana-dream sermon in Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man. As Ellison avers that “Black is, an’ black ain’t,” so too, I contend, “White is, and white ain’t.” Racial constructions are irrevocably embedded in each other. I trace this through selected novels of Chester Himes, who offers a specific way of reading whiteness, through his deployment and ultimate disruption of hard-boiled conventions, a style that other scholars have convincingly argued is a literary epitome of white male perspective. Chapter One is a biographical sketch, focusing upon those points in Himes’s life which best inform his representations and analysis of whiteness. Chapter Two engages Himes’s first published novel, If He Hollers Let Him Go in order to locate those tropes and figures of whiteness in both narrative and style which will later manifest themselves in his Harlem Cycle. Chapter Three moves to the Harlem Cycle itself. A Rage in Harlem is a transitional text of sorts, from the “social protest” conventions to the more absurdist aspects of the later novels.

  • Interview with Pratibha Parmar
    REWIND | Artists’ Video in the 70s & 80s Interview with Pratibha Parmar Interview by Maggie Warwick, 10th May 2007 MW: Is there a particular piece of work that you’ve made, that you think perhaps hasn’t had the recognitions it deserves, or maybe it has? PP: It’s a really difficult question to answer because as a video and filmmaker, I am attached to every single piece of work that I’ve made. Each one has its own history, both around the idea, the inspiration, the actual practicalities of getting it made and making it. I suppose the one video that I would say is extremely personal to me was Sari Red, which I made in 1987. It was the third video that I’d made. I’d been making short videos and teaching myself. I was learning the kind of practicalities of making videos. I was picking up the camera and just trying to create my own way of telling stories. I am particularly emotionally attached to Sari Red. MW: It’s a very powerful piece of work and a very political piece of work. Presumably it was based on a true story? How did you decide to make it? PP: There was a video collective in Brighton who asked me if I would make a 10- minute video on anything I wanted. They gave me a Hi-8 video camera for 2 weeks and, at the time something like £200, to edit it. I saw it as a challenge and thought, “Ok, I will make this 10 minute video.
